Introduction
mLoader is a software application developed by Matrix to reprogram microcontrollers used in a variety of hardware targets.
Modes of operation
There are two basic modes of operation:
- UI mode
- This mode is enabled when mLoader is run as a stand-alone application
- A window is opened (similar to the above image) which allows the user to send and receive programs to the target
- More information can be found here: mLoader:UI_Mode
- non-UI mode
- This mode is typically used when another application (e.g. Flowcode) launches mLoader as part of a build process
- Command line parameters control the operation of mLoader
- No window will usually be opened and use feedback will be provided by the application launching mLoader
- More information can be found here: mLoader:noUI_Mode
Supported hardware
mLoader currently supports the following hardware:
- EB006 - E-blocks multiprogrammer supporting 8-bit PIC MCUs: 12Fxxx, 16Fxxx, 18Fxxxx, 18FxxKxx
- EB064 - E-blocks multiprogrammer supporting 16-bit PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs: PIC24F, PIC24H, dsPIC30F, dsPIC33F
- EB185 - E-blocks 32-bit ARM7 programmer
- ECIOs - Low-cost, single-board computers: 8-bit PIC MCU, 16-bit dsPIC DSC, 32-bit ARM7
- MIAC - Rugged PLC-like 8-bit PIC MCU
- Formula Flowcode - Robot buggy
- LK4690L - Locktronics USB-programmable PIC MCU
- HP4829 - USB-programmable Prototype board
- HP1110 - USB-programmable Project board
Supported File Formats
